Collision(s)

Performances

CERN

Collision(s) is a poetic and introspective theatre piece born from the encounter between playwright Catherine Tinivella-Aeschimann and particle physicist Yasmine Amhis (CNRS/CERN). Through a fragmented narrative combining intimate storytelling, to-do lists, scientific inventories and personal reflections, the play follows a young physicist struggling to balance a demanding scientific career with motherhood, while subtly addressing gender equality in STEM fields. This CERN and Château Rouge co-production gently reminds us that behind every scientific breakthrough lies a deeply human story—one that theatre is uniquely equipped to tell.

Music-Hall

Performances

Théâtre des Amis

Revived by director Ninon Fachard after the original staging by Véronique Ros de la Grange, this solo piece stars Jacques Michel with Caroline Gasser as the prompter. Lighting by Rinaldo Del Boca and music by Alain Lamarche carve intimate, shadowed spaces around a red sequined curtain. Makeup by Natalia Lepianka and costumes by Emilie Revel shape the fading glamour of a music‑hall star who soliloquises, recalls past glory and loss, and sings in playback—an inward plunge toward memory and survival.

Le Tartuffe

Performances

Théâtre de Carouge

Molière’s Tartuffe tells the story of a slick con-man who hides behind ostentatious piety to worm his way into the wealthy Orgon household. Orgon, dazzled by Tartuffe’s sanctimonious rhetoric, defends him even as the impostor’s hypocrisy poisons family bonds and pushes the household toward ruin.

Director Jean Liermier underscores how, in Molière’s work, the female characters serve as the moral compass and spark of resistance, a beacon of hope against oppression. Staged on a stark, minimalist set that exposes the family’s rigid tensions—and featuring Gilles Privat as an unbending Orgon—this production highlights the play’s continuing resonance in a world beset by egotism, fanaticism, and conspiracy thinking. The central question remains timeless: will society keep falling for Tartuffe’s brand of seductive deceit?

In French. Ages 12 and up.

L’imposture

Performances

Théâtre Alchimic

Created by Aurélie Hubeau and Lucie Hanoy, L’IMPOSTURE is a comic and poetic exploration of doubt, self-image and belonging. The piece follows a woman who describes herself as too small, obese, ugly and a tomboy, and recounts how she forged an identity in today’s world. Using objects, clothing and puppets manipulated with inventive choreography, the performance weaves humor, poetry and music — from Patrick Bruel to gospel and karaoke — to celebrate difference and question social norms, delivering warmth and poignancy.
